North Coast Music Fest 2012 announces partial lineup, early passes sold out

True to tradition, North Coast Music Festival announced a partial lineup of headliners for the third annual fest--Aug. 31-Sept. 2 at Union Park--just after midnight on Monday evening, along with a Groupon deal for discounted fest passes. Within about 30 minutes, the limited $62 passes were sold out.

We can't say we weren't warned, though. A post on the fest's Facebook page from early Monday afternoon suggested checking back at midnight. North Coast has used its Twitter and Facebook accounts to announce lineup additions and Groupon deals in past years.
